Camp Olson YMCA - Youth and Family Camps

Camp Olson YMCA has been serving youth and families from Minnesota and beyond for over 50 years. Camp Olson is an inspiring place with over 1250 acres bordering five lakes. The spirit of Camp Olson is always alive in the songs we sing, the evenings spent around campfires on star filled nights and the sound of laughter that abounds every day. Camp Olson prides itself on having an excellent caring and committed staff with an overall ratio of one staff member for every four campers. Camp Olson has a variety of traditional camp programs for youth ages 8-17 and specializes in sailing, horseback riding and leadership programs. Camp Olson is located in Longville, MN and chartered coach transportation is available for each session with pick up and drop off at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport making it easy for your camper to get to camp. Camp Olson YMCA is accredited by the American Camping Association and is staffed with registered nurses 24 hours a day. Scholarships are available.

Camp Ihduhapi has small, single-gender cabin groups of 8-10 campers and 2 cabin staff, which provides individual attention and positive, small-group dynamics. Program professionals assist in areas like waterfront, arts and crafts, health services, administration and much more. Our kitchen staff prides themselves on creating a well balanced and good tasting menu. A salad bar is provided at both lunch and dinner. Fresh fruit is offered each day. Campers eat family style as a cabin group.

At Camp Warren we believe that a session of camp can make a profound impact on a young person’s life. The Summer of 2012 is shaping up to be another fantastic year. I hope you’ll join us for at least one of our unique single-gender camp sessions.

While at Warren, campers have the opportunity to live independently in a supportive community where they can: meet new friends, try new activities, explore the natural world and gain self-reliance. Activities are designed with skill progression in mind but in a non-competitive atmosphere. For over 80 years, our well trained, energetic staff team (most of whom were once campers themselves) has provided the environment to foster this growth.

Located in the Smokey Hills of northwest Minnesota, Toad Mountain Ranch is an equestrian paradise set in the pristine and unspoiled Minnesota heartland.

DAY CAMP
Day camp runs from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Tuition is $250 per camper. Camp is open to boys and girls ages 8 and up. We concentrate mostly on RIDING in English or western saddles with time allowed to make a craft or enjoy a swim at the end of the day if it is hot. Camps are kept small to allow maximum instruction and time with the horses. Campers must bring their own sack lunch and drink.



OVERNIGHT CAMP
Overnight camp runs from 3:00 p.m. Sunday through 3:00 p.m. Friday. Camp is open to boys and girls ages 9-14. Tuition includes a Camp Toad T-shirt, water bottle, crafts, lodging, and meals. Overnight campers enjoy a luau, awesome crafts, scavenger and treasure hunts on horseback, and a night ride. We have a Camp Store where campers can purchase clothing and snacks. Campers can deposit money in their store account when they arrive.
